So we have all seen the white worms at some point in out tank. I bought a veho 400x usb microscope so we could all see the smaller stuff growing in out tanks.
I will add a bunch of pictures and video to my You Tube site in a few weeks I am just waiting for my video camera to arrive still.I will post the stuff here for you all too see aswell.
Do you know the name of this?
they grow in all fresh water aquariums but Have you seen them in salt water tanks?
You should see baby snails so small and colorless and stringy white poop ect I will add later

Baby snails hatching form eggs

I was luck to catch them hatching you can just see the left over egg shell he is slipping out of.In the first photo you can just make out the little white egg like things on the green glass from the brown snails in the same picture.

Brine Shrimp eggs and Activated Carbon

First two photos are of brine shrimp.No wonder brine shrimp need water and salt they look like flat basket balls.
The second two Filter carbon. I have read that it removes contaminates by filling the holes in the carbon little pockets small enough to trap the medicine pieces that float in the water.Please correct me if I am wrong.

Deformed baby mollie

Okay so I lost one of the current 30+ baby molly and guppy's I have and so I wanted to see why he always stayed on the tank floor and almost seemed to drag himself across it. As you can see in the photo it has what looks like a malformed abdomen. He managed to live 3 days.
PHOTO
Top left : the deformed section just below the rib cage
Top right :The baby tail fin looks pointed the other are fine
Bottom left : Black and white (Dalmatian Molly)
Bottom right :The eye of the little fish the size of a pin

Next time you see a baby sliding across the floor this could be the problem and you could spare him the suffering unlike what this little guy suffered I know I will look for it next time and stop the suffering.
